Why does this job exist and why is it critical?

The Enterprise Solution Architect drives the end-to-end solution design of telco IT applications with digital and AI-native solution principles adopting telco industry standards (e.g., GSMA, TM Forum).

The ideal candidate possesses a growth mindset challenging status quo, and has a strong ability to influence stakeholders at all levels.

Key Responsibilities

• Solution Design and Architecture

  Design end-to-end, scalable and secure telco IT solutions integrated with network that meet functional and technical considerations.

  Develop architectural blueprints and high-level designs supported by the right technologies and platforms.

• Technical Leadership and Collaboration

  Provide technical guidance and leadership to implementation and development teams throughout project lifecycle.

  Collaborate with cross-functional teams (digital sales and service, product management, engineering, operations) and external vendors to ensure seamless solution integration and delivery.

  Act as technical point of contact for articulating technology and solution positioning to both technical and business stakeholders.

• Technology and Architecture Governance

  Develop and implement architectural and integration guidelines/standards.

  Ensure architectural integrity and compliance with industry standards, security protocols, and enterprise governance frameworks.

  Stay abreast of emerging technologies and industry trends (e.g., 5G, AI/ML in Telco, cloud-native deployments) to recommend innovative and cost-effective solutions.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field.
• Proven experience as an Enterprise Solution Architect or similar role, preferably in a large-scale Telco IT environment with more than 10 years of experience.
• Strong knowledge of systems integration, APIs, and interoperability between different telco and IT systems (e.g., BSS/OSS, digital commerce, etc.).
• Technical skills that are beneficial: Cloud computing platforms (e.g., AWS, Azure, GCP) and cloud-native architectures; data platforms (data lakes/warehouses) and security.
• Soft skills: Analytical and problem solving, strong communication skills to articulate complex technical concepts to diverse stakeholders, and good business acumen in telco business processes and financial models with the ability to link technical solutions to business value (e.g., cost-efficiency, scalability).
